We give a survey of current research on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems from the following three aspects: classifications of different proofs of Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, the limit of the applicability of Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem, and the limit of the applicability of Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem.

Answering a question raised by Shavrukov and Visser :569–582, 2014), we show that the lattice of \-sentences ) over any computable enumerable consistent extension T of \ is uniformly dense. We also show that for every \ and \ refer to the known hierarchies of arithmetical formulas introduced by Burr for intuitionistic arithmetic) the lattices of \-sentences over any c.e. consistent extension T of the intuitionistic version of Robinson Arithmetic \ are uniformly dense. As an immediate consequence of the proof, (...) all these lattices are also locally universal. (shrink)

In the language \(\lbrace 0, 1, \circ, \preceq \rbrace \), where 0 and 1 are constant symbols, \(\circ \) is a binary function symbol and \(\preceq \) is a binary relation symbol, we formulate two theories, \( \textsf {WD} \) and \( {\textsf {D}}\), that are mutually interpretable with the theory of arithmetic \( {\textsf {R}} \) and Robinson arithmetic \({\textsf {Q}} \), respectively. The intended model of \( \textsf {WD} \) and \( {\textsf {D}}\) is the free semigroup generated (...) by \(\lbrace {\varvec{0}}, {\varvec{1}} \rbrace \) under string concatenation extended with the prefix relation. The theories \( \textsf {WD} \) and \( {\textsf {D}}\) are purely universally axiomatised, in contrast to \( {\textsf {Q}} \) which has the \(\varPi _2\) -axiom \(\forall x \; [ \ x = 0 \vee \exists y \; [ \ x = Sy \ ] \ ] \).
